This is Papa Juan, and we are present with you through all your life and death cycles, through your joys and trials, through your wars and times of peace, and through your travels and expansions. You are a loved and cherished species. You are unique to the universe and bring an inimitable and exciting view of life to all of us who observe you.

Look Back to Gauge Your Future

As we all (human and otherwise) contemplate the events that might occur in the coming year (as you calculate time), we would have you think of the past and what you have accomplished, the goals you set for yourselves, and where you are with them now. Also think about your lives in general and how they have changed since you last focused on what you wanted. We don’t encourage making resolutions because we have observed that they are too rigid and hard to accomplish. You might feel good about them when you are able to meet them, but the majority of the time, these resolutions end up being thorns in your sides and unproductive. Open-ended goals are less rigid, are something to work toward without an end-of-the-year focal point, and can be less stressful. If you are a person who gets stressed easily, then be more flexible with your goal making. But remember, you are powerful manifesters, so plan ahead and focus on what you want, not on what you do not want. We will talk more about this later.

Review your life back through the end of last year, and think about what it was like for you. What was your life like? What was your work situation like? What was your family setting like, and how did you get along with everyone? Are you living in the same home you lived in a year ago or even a few years ago? Do you have any new friends, and have you released any friends you had in the past year or two? How does it feel to know that situations and environments have changed for you, even though it might seem subtle from your vantage point?
